As long as you use a boot disk from an NT-base file system you should be able to fix the problem. If your boot disk is failing and you do not have the original bootable CD from your operating system, you can create a 6-disk boot disk set to get your system booted to the recovery console. I don't have too much experience in NT, but XP is built on the NTFS file system, and under the hood has a lot of NT systems.

Once you have successfully booted to the recovery console, you might also run a chkdsk /r command to test and repair any defective areas on your hard drive.
